WOMEN AS INVENTORS.
Witnesses to Their Ingenuity Fouud
in the Patent Office.

The world has not given women due
credit for herinventive faculties, writes
a Washington correspondent. Few
persons realize what an important role
she is playing in the designing Of num-
erous articles, useful as we'll as orna-
mental. The record Of the patent
Office shows that fully 1900 patents are
claimed by women. Moreover, not q
small number Of the patents granted to
men are really for ingenious devices
and ideas that have originated in a fem
inine brain. The women Of New York
have been granted more patents than
their sisters in any other state. The
women Of Massachusetts,, Ohio, Indi-
ana and Wisconsin rank next in order.
In machinery, women have donc Dauch.
Almost daily improvements in sewing
machines come from her brains. In
the model room Of the patent office,
nearly side by side with Elias Howe's
machine, IS one made by Miss Rosen-
thai. Tt is a handy little contrivance
which can be put in a lady's pocket
and screwed on to any ordinary table.

Onions for the Nerves.

"Onions are about the best nerve
remedy KNOWN" says a physician.
"No medicine is so efficacious in cases Of
nervous prostration. Their absorbent
powers are also most valuable, especially
in times Of epidemic. 1t has repeatedly
been observed that an onion patch in
the immediate vicinity Of house acts
as shield against the pestilence, which
Is very apt to pass over the inmates Of
that house. Sliced onions in sick
room absorb all the germs and prevent
contagion. During an e.yidemic, the
confirmed onion-eater should, however,
eschew his usual diet, as the germs Of
disease are present in the onion, and
cOntagion can easily result.

Waking the May Flowers.

Adown the still and leafless wood, '-at.
In gladstone mood Spring walked one
day; "N
a thousand sunbeams round her danced,
south breeze played about hsr way,
The aspens quivered meath her touch,
And walked to find the winter fed;
The birches felt sudden thrill,
Tie naples donned misty red. II
Whereer she trod, tender green
Cleaned al the hills and wales along,
And at her smile the ice.bound brooks
, Awoke and rippled into song.
Where last years leaves all sere and dry
! Within the sunny bollows lay;
She paused, while with Its balmy breath
The south wind swept them far away.
And, nesting there, with fast-olosed buds,
! The May flowers lay in drcamless sleep,
Where Autumn, with careful hand
Had hid them meath covering deco.
Then with sweet and sudden smile,
Spring bent above the sleeping flowers
Wake, little ones, she whispered low,
"AnI tell the world Of happy hours"
Beneath her kiss, a dainty pink
Spread DER their petals, snowy white,
And all along the woodland ways
They open their sweet eyes to the light.

Pc 1t is a terrible mistake when mothers
do too much for their children, yet it
is very difficult to draw the line be-,
tween that and proper consideration
for their wants and comforts. 1t is 80
natural to be anticipating for them,
and mingled with the feeling there is,
perhaps, a little selGshness, for the
mother cannot help wishing that if she
should be taken from her little ones,
that they may be able to look back on
the time when she cared for them as
one Of unnixed comfort and happiness.
A mother whose heart remains young
IS. an incalculable blessing to her chill
dren; she can enter into their games
and be a child with them, she is the
playfellow Of her girls, and, as they
grow older, is almost like their elder
sister; and if she have sons, there is a
ca1nardderfe between them and her
which makes home the most delightful
place in the world, and "mother'' the
most charming of companions. It was
thus with Goethe, the German poet,
his mothers first-born son, who came
to be her plaything and pleasure long
before she was out Of her teens. She
was a genial, social, and, withal, clever
woman, and always maintained that
the bond between herself and her boy
owned it's strength to the fact that ssmy
Wolfgang and were young together"
A mothers authority ought to be-
marked by sweet reasonableness.
The children, when old enough to COM
prehend more than the bare duty of
implicit obedience, should be convinced
thatall her rules and regulations are
basel on sound principles, and have
their welfare for their aim and end.
Thus, a young girl Of fifteen, invited to
form one Of large party in country
house, where every one was older than
herself, adhered to her mothers rule
that she was always to go to bed at
nine O'Clock. No matter what fun was
going on, what temptation was held
out TO induce her to stay ten minutes
longer, ishe was gently inflexible, and
would say, smilinp: "Mother told me
never to stay up after nine; it wouldn't
be good for me.''
Many remarkable men have had re-
markable mothers. The first Napoleon
never forgot his allegiance to his
mother, Lucretia Bonaparte, who has
been called the Cornelia of her day.
She was woman who practiced 'splain
living and high thinking" and, though
her sons works bore two meanings, his
tribute to her worth was heartfelt when
he reiterated, with the deepest convic-
tion. "France wants mothersl:' Il"
John Wesley, who was the twelfth Of
nineteen children, loved his mother so
dearly that when he was a young man
att Oxford, he used to pray that he
might never survive her. And many
years afterwards, when word was
brought him, at Bristol, that she was
dying, he ordered his horse to be
brought to the door Of the chapel where
he was preaching in Broadmead, and
rode on all night, never drawing rein
till he reached Moorfields. Some one
made a remark TO him about his haste
and anxiety, and he answered.: "Ah,
/ can never have another mother.n

a series Of iron plates so constructed as
to resist shot and shell. There is also
in the model room ali engine of offence,
as we'll as defence, in the shape of a
breech loading gun credited to Miss
Ruth Goshen. Among the more peace
tul inventions by women are o car
coupling pin and an improved railway
for street cars. A life raft is q contri-
vance Of a Mrs. Beaseley. An appli-
ance for raising sunken vessels has
been patented by Mrs Emily Taney
Of Pennsylvania. She has also contrived
a syphon propeller pump. Mrs. Track
elton Of Milwaukee claims to have made
200 women self-supporting by means Of
useful little portable kiln for firing
decorated china. This can be attached
to any gas pipe, and is an improvement
on the usual method Of heating, afford
ing a much more equable temperature.
Miss Mary Broughton Of New York
discovered a new mode Of forming air
chambers in dental plates for artificial
teeth. Miss Amelia Bird desired to
make a noise in the world, and her,
genius scared to steam whistles. Mrs.
Caroline Brooks Of Arkansas has pat
ented some lubricating moulds in plas-
ter. Mrs. Brooks will be remembered
as the butter artist at the Centennial,
her lovely creation of Iolanthe attract
ing much attention. She now has a
studio in New York. a.
ro 70 A of NJ, 70
patented the bust of Abraham Lincoln.
Of what the patent right consists does
not clearly appear, as artists generally
consider such things creations rather
than inventions. Mrs. Cornelia Beau
mont Of Ohio has a patent lifeboat to
her credit. Mrs. Martha J. Coston has
been very successful with her pyrotech-
mic night signals. She is an example
Of what pluck and perseverance can do.
At the death of her husband his papers
were in a chaotic condition and his de-
signs not fully perfected. Unaided,
she brought them to a point where they
were practically valuable, and she re-
manned almost 10 years introducing
them in the various foreign ports. She
has been rewarded for her perseverance
by a fortune. Among the queer in
ventions is an instrument for restoring
facial symmetry, by Miss Fanny Batch
elder of Massachusetts,. The numerous
patents granted to women include fire
escapes, dust-brushes, baby-tenders,
devices for killing mosquitoes and other
insects, window-washers, glove-fasten-
ers, food-preseryers, c0w-milkers, dish
washers, washing machines, cooking
stoves, corpse preservers, bustles, face
lotions and all kinds of garments.

The Long Bow In Boys Books.

1t seems to be considered necessary
that the schoolboy of the period should
be supplied with a new story of adven-
ture for every day in the week. 1t also
seems to be considered necessary that
men of genius should be told off to
write them-men who, like Mr.. j. Rider
Haggard and Mr.. Stevenson, are sorely
needed to produce stories for men and
women. The consequence is that some
Of the most picturesque and vigorous
imaginative writing that has been pro-
duced of late years is to be found in
such boys books as ''rKi1g Solomon's
Mines" and Treasure Island" We
are not sure that this is entirely for
tunate circumstance. In novels writ
ten for adult readers it Is not enough to
furnish a rapid succession Of brilliant
scenes; these scenes must be accounted
for by that severe logic Of the imagin.
alton which is as 1nexoraDle as the logic
of the schools. But in stories written
for boys the action moves in entire
freedom from those conditions which
are at once the trammel and the strength
Of true art. Hence in fctive art no
boys story can hold very high place,
no matter how powerful may be the
imagination in forming it. Perhaps
we had better give an illustration of our
meaning. When the writer of boys
story wants, as in "King Solomon's
Mines,' to show how, in great battle
between many thousands of savage
combatants, two English heroes can
display prodigies of strength and valor
equal to those Of Achilles or Sigurd,
and yet come out OF the fray unwound-
ed, he can without hesitation furnish
heroes with European chair-armor the
moment it is required-find it slowed
away in the armory Of an African tribe
who are ignorant Of firearms, and who,
like the ancient Mexicans and Peruvians,
actually believe the white men to have
fallen from the stars. aau
